Chester House Hotel - A Victorian Cotswold stone hotel with riverside dining and family-friendly services

Chester House Hotel is a Victorian building constructed of honey-colored Cotswold stone, featuring boutique en-suite bathrooms and charming interiors with dark powder blue paintwork in the bar. Rooms are categorized as 'Good', 'Better', or 'Best', all equipped with flat-screen TVs, tea and coffee facilities, and en-suite bathrooms with free toiletries. The on-site Italian restaurant, L'Anatra, serves stone-baked pizzas, pasta, and seasonal dishes like walnut and gorgonzola ravioli in a pesto cream sauce. The Croft offers classic English fare such as Cotswold steak and ale pie, situated along the River Windrush. Guests can relax in the cozy library or the comfortable bar area, which serves craft ales and spirits. The hotel is one street away from Bourton-on-the-Water's attractions, including Birdland and the Cotswold Motor Museum, all within a 10-minute walk. Free Wi-Fi and parking for 18 cars are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Pros

A continental breakfast includes cereals, fruit salad, yogurt, and pastries.

The property offers a walled garden for al fresco dining and relaxation.

Family rooms accommodate two adults and one or two children, with cots available.

Two on-site restaurants provide Italian and traditional English dining options.

Cons

The hotel has no lift, requiring guests to use stairs to access upper floors.

Limited parking spaces (18) may require alternatives during peak occupancy.

“The hotel's prime location in Bourton-on-the-Water ensures that the village's attractions are just a short stroll away. I particularly appreciate the on-site Italian restaurant and the lovely garden, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. The consistently positive feedback regarding the friendly staff and comfortable rooms makes it an appealing choice.”
